Hunters Help Feed Those in Need in Ohio

How does a community cope with rising hunger and a growing deer population? The answer might seem obvious but it's turned out to be a bit more complicated than you might think.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, through its wildlife division, has begun issuing grants to help hunters defray the costs of making donations of venison to food banks in that state. According to a story by the Associated Press, hunters can spend as much as $70 just to process a deer and while many wanted to donate the meat to their local pantries, the cost has been a little prohibitive. This is where the state, and two private organizations, stepped in.
